Lightning Battle mod for Doom III

This is not a revolutionary mod.
This is not an innovation.
This is not clever, original, or thought-provoking.
This is white-knuckled, hard-hitting deathmatch.

This is Lightning Battle, a Doom 3 mod by ShadowMan and Techokami. It isn't our goal to make a killer app or put a twist on gameplay. All we want to do is give Doom 3 a deathmatch mode it can be proud of, and to do this, we're turning it everything up to 11.

Doom 3 multiplayer, to be honest, was crap. It was slow, couldn't tell if it was trying to be intense or stealth-based, and was just rough around the edges. Why not just try to push it in one direction or the other? Doom 3 just wasn't fast or intense enough, so we decided to go the whole 10 yards and turn it into a campy, Doom 3 chop-saki.

What's Done:

• Faster, higher-jumping, higher-health, fall-surviving characters
• Weapons rebalanced: fire faster, have more ammo, and other miscellaneous tweaks (chainsaw range increased).
• Rocket Launcher replaced with Chainsaw Launcher.
• Player always has all weapons at any given time (minus BFG)
• A new weapon, the Explosion Gun
• Four new maps

What's Happening:

• New weapon: Sledgehammer
• New weapon sounds
• Yet more maps
• New player skins

What's Next:

• Unreal-style announcer?
• New macros
